You don’t want god-level superpowers, so you choose the worst talent?.

Chapter 118: Deep Blue, give me some points!
at this time.

Inside the carriage.

Zhao Zheng looked surprised.

In front of him was a woman dressed in traditional Hanfu. Her emerald green long skirt was embroidered with delicate cloud patterns. She wore a sapphire blue short-sleeved top and an exquisite hairpin on her head. Her overall outfit was gentle and elegant.

However, what surprised Zhao Zheng the most was the woman's appearance.

Her lips were as red as cinnabar, her skin was as white as cream, her eyes were like the clear surface of a lake, and her overall appearance was like that of a fairy who had descended to earth.

In terms of appearance, this girl is no worse than Song Haitang herself.

A piece of information immediately popped up in Zhao Zheng's mind, and he subconsciously said a name:
"Song Yunxuan?"

After consciousness descends into this body, it is able to read the original owner's memory.

In Zhao Shanhe's memory, there were several famous beauties in the city, one of whom was named Song.

When Zhao Zheng just got on the carriage, he noticed that the word "Song" was engraved in many places on the carriage. It was obviously the Song family's carriage.

Then, it is not difficult to guess the identity of this woman.

She is so beautiful, she must be the beauty named Song.

Now it’s Song Haitang.

"It seems that this body of mine is quite famous." Song Haitang whispered, "Even you know it."

"In this body, I work as a helper in a rice shop. The apple of the eye of Mr. Song, the grain merchant, of course knows."

The Song family is a well-known local grain merchant and is very rich!

The owner of the rice shop that Zhao Shanhe used to own often went to the Song family to purchase goods, so he must know the main figures of the Song family.

As he spoke, he sat down next to Song Haitang without any hesitation, not showing any sign of politeness at all.

If the guards and maids saw such a scene, they would probably be scared.

After sitting down, Zhao Zheng lowered his voice and said, "Haitang, since the character you possess is so rich, our plan doesn't need to be so complicated. Go back and try to see if you can get the internal skills."

Hearing this, Song Haitang said, "It's not a big hope. Internal martial arts cannot be bought with money."

This is true.

Internal skills are precious and are usually in the hands of truly strong people. They are regarded as an important inheritance by the strong and will not be easily passed on to outsiders. Even more so, no strong person will exchange internal skills for money.

Zhao Zheng also knew this, so he said, "Then learn more external martial arts."

Song Haitang nodded, but then said, "I have a problem here."

"What trouble?" Zhao Zheng asked immediately.

Song Haitang said: "The patriarch of the Song family, who is also the father of this body of mine, wants to curry favor with the newly appointed governor, so he plans to marry his daughter to the governor as a concubine... There are still five days before the engagement."

Zhao Zheng frowned slightly when he heard this.

This kind of political friendship is common in any era and there is nothing surprising about it.

However, now that the daughter of the Song family has become Song Haitang, Zhao Zheng must not let the marriage take place as scheduled...

……

Outside the carriage.

When the maid saw that the bald man was taking a long time to come out, her face became more and more anxious.

My lady has been with that man for quite some time...

If the news gets out, it will definitely have a bad impact on the young lady's reputation.

The young lady is already engaged, and her engagement partner is a very powerful figure.

Once word gets out that the young lady is having an affair with someone else, the consequences will be very serious!

Think of this.

The maidservant couldn't wait any longer.

Just as she was about to get in the carriage to take a look, suddenly, the door of the carriage opened from the inside.

Then, the bald man jumped out of the car.

The maidservant was sharp-eyed and noticed that the man was holding an embroidered purse in his hand.

That’s our lady’s purse!

The lady actually gave it to the person in front of her?

Who is this bald guy? What is his relationship with the lady?
"Little sister, please make way."

Zhao Zheng's voice brought the maid back to her senses and she subconsciously stepped aside.

Zhao Zheng jumped off the carriage and left in a swagger.

As soon as Zhao Zheng's figure disappeared in the alley, the maid immediately got on the carriage.

Seeing that the young lady was dressed neatly, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the maid asked, "Miss, who is he? How could you let him get on your carriage? If this gets out, it will be terrible!"

Hearing this, Song Haitang glanced at the maid and said calmly, "Don't ask too much about things that are not your business."

Hearing this, the maid opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.

She felt that the young lady today seemed like a different person.

"Let's go back home!"

Song Haitang gave another order.

When the coachman heard the sound, he steered the carriage towards the Song family.

Several guards followed.

Song Yunxuan is the eldest daughter of the Song family and is engaged to the governor. Naturally, the Song family attaches great importance to her and sends people to protect her whenever she travels.

On the road.

Song Haitang suddenly asked, "Cuihong, I remember Master Li in the guard house was very skilled. Has he ever practiced martial arts?"

Upon hearing this, the maid Cuihong immediately said, "Yes, Miss. Master Li is a Ming Jin master that the master hired at a high price. He is very skilled in martial arts."

"What kind of Kung Fu does Master Li know?" Song Haitang asked again.

The maid thought for a moment and said, "I don't know about that either, but I heard that Master Li's palm technique is very powerful."

……

the other side.

After Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang separated, they went to "Fumanlou".

This is a well-known restaurant in the city.

He used the money given by Song Haitang to book a room in the restaurant and decided to settle down there temporarily.

The reason why I didn't follow Song Haitang to the Song Mansion was because it was not appropriate now.

The eldest daughter of the Song family is engaged to the governor, and she suddenly brings back a man. What will others think?
At that time, in order to stop the rumors, the head of the Song family would probably silence Zhao Zheng and have him killed and fed to the dogs...

Zhao Zheng has no strength now, and he would simply feel uncomfortable if he went to the Song family.

"Sir, are you satisfied with this room?"

The person who spoke was the waiter of the restaurant.

"Okay, this one will do! And prepare some wine and food for me."

Zhao Zheng said this and threw a piece of silver to the waiter.

Upon seeing this, the waiter immediately smiled and ran to prepare it.

Zhao Zheng walked into the room and looked outside through the window.

The room he booked was on the second floor, and through the window he could see the entire street, with a great view.

Subsequently.

Zhao Zheng clenched his fists and frowned slightly.

Being used to having great power, it was very uncomfortable for him to see all the power disappear.

After a while.

The waiter came to Zhao Zheng's room with some wine and food.

"Guest officer, take it easy."

"Don't go yet, I have something to ask you."

As Zhao Zheng spoke, he took out a few copper coins and placed them on the table: "Good answer, this money is yours."

When the waiter who was about to leave saw the money, he immediately stopped.

Don't underestimate these few cents.

For the poor, a few cents is a lot.

According to the current market price, one penny can buy two big meat buns!
The small change Zhao Zheng gave before included money for Zhao Zheng's food and accommodation.

The few cents that Zhao Zheng took out now were extra income for the waiter, and their nature was different.

"Master, just ask me, I will tell you what I know."

For the sake of the money, the waiter's attitude towards Zhao Zheng instantly became more enthusiastic.

Even the name has changed.

Zhao Zheng didn't care about the waiter's address to him, and said, "I want to ask you, who are the powerful warriors in the city?"

Hearing this question, the waiter smiled and said, "Sir, you've asked the right person. I also wanted to learn martial arts before, so I know a lot about the martial arts masters in the city..." After boasting for a while, the waiter got to the point, "We have a strong martial arts culture here, and there are many martial arts masters in the city, but the most powerful one is naturally Master Huang from Baozhitang."

"Master Huang is the chief martial arts coach of the provincial government. Just based on this, if he claims to be second, no one here dares to claim to be first!"

"The second is Master Yan from the Yan Family Martial Arts School. Master Yan's Eagle Claw Iron Shirt has been practiced to perfection. He is invulnerable to swords and spears and extremely brave. I heard that Master Yan once competed with Master Huang in martial arts and persisted for a hundred moves without losing."

"There is also Wing Chun Master Chen and the Song family's security guard Master Li..."

……

This waiter indeed knows a lot about the martial arts masters in the city.

It took him half an hour to talk to Zhao Zheng about all the warriors with names in the city.

Only after sending the waiter away did Zhao Zheng reveal a smile.

The warriors that the waiter just mentioned are all his targets!

Had lunch.

Zhao Zheng didn't go anywhere and just rested in the restaurant.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the waiter came to his room again.

"Master, there is someone from the Song family outside who wants to see you."

"Oh?" Zhao Zheng perked up and said, "Let him in."

The waiter immediately turned around and left.

Soon.

Then he walked into the room with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man saw Zhao Zheng and said nothing more. He took off the package on his body, put it on the table and said, "My master asked me to give these things to you."

Zhao Zheng nodded, and imitated the locals, bowing to the middle-aged man and saying, "Thank you."

"Since the things have been delivered, I will leave."

The middle-aged man had no interest in chatting with Zhao Zheng, so he turned around and left after saying this.

After everyone left, Zhao Zheng closed the door and opened the package.

Inside were some martial arts secrets sent by Song Haitang.

"Iron Shirt", "Chasing Cloud Steps", "Thunder Palm"...

Seeing these martial arts secrets, Zhao Zheng smiled.

"Haitang is quite fast. It turns out that money makes things easier!"

Before leaving the carriage, Zhao Zheng told Song Haitang that he would live in Fumanlou.

So Song Haitang would know his location.

Although the martial arts secrets that Song Haitang sent over were all external skills, Zhao Zheng was very satisfied with their efficiency.

He glanced at it and picked up the book "Iron Shirt"!
Almost the moment he picked it up, a prompt popped up in his left eye:

[Discover the secret realm of martial arts "Iron Shirt", do you want to learn it? 】

[Tip: To learn and get started with "Iron Shirt", you need to consume 100 energy points.]

See the prompt.

Zhao Zheng chose "study" without saying anything!
Suddenly!

The secret manuscript in his hand disappeared, turned into starlight, and merged into his body.

then.

Zhao Zheng felt a hot current surging from his dantian and quickly spreading throughout his body.

Zhao Zheng was not at all panicked about this.

Old Chu said that this was spiritual energy transforming the body, allowing the body to automatically master martial arts and improve the realm at the same time.

of course.

It consumes energy points.

When the heat flow disappeared, Zhao Zheng could feel that his body had changed.

He immediately opened the properties panel.

Name: Zhao Shanhe (Zhao Zheng).

Age: 19 years old.

Martial Arts: Iron Shirt (beginner's guide).

Current state: tendon training.

Current competition points: 0.
Available power points: 4967.
……

There are also obvious changes in the attribute panel.

Subsequently.

A task prompt popped up in Zhao Zheng's left eye:

[Detected that you have learned martial arts, this spiritual realm mission is activated...]

[Mission: Challenge the Warrior! ]

[Task description: Defeat the warriors in an upright duel to gain martial arts points. The higher the martial arts points, the higher the mission evaluation.]

[Task time: 30 days. 】

[Note: Please do not use cheating methods to win, such as using benefits to lure warriors to voluntarily admit defeat, poisoning warriors in advance, etc., which are all considered cheating methods. Each time you use it, a part of your martial arts points will be deducted. ]

[Tip: You don't need to kill a local warrior to defeat him. You can get martial arts points by defeating him or letting him surrender. If you are both extraordinary people, you will not get martial arts points by defeating him.]

See tasks.

Zhao Zheng's face was calm.

Old Chu had already told all the students what the mission was.

He called up his attribute panel and prepared to upgrade the "Iron Shirt"!
This horizontal training kung fu can enhance defense and is one of the martial arts that Zhao Zheng needs.

However, if you want to upgrade your martial arts, you must first improve your martial arts realm.

Zhao Zheng had known this for a long time.

He chose to improve both items together!
Suddenly, the prompts kept flashing in Zhao Zheng's left eye...

[Successfully upgraded Iron Shirt, consuming 100 energy points, current Iron Shirt level is: Proficient! ]

[Successfully upgraded Iron Shirt, consuming 200 energy points, current Iron Shirt level is: Mastery! ]

[Upgraded Iron Shirt successfully, consuming 300 psychic points, current Iron Shirt level is: Great Success! ]

[Successfully upgraded the Iron Shirt, consuming 400 psychic points, the current Iron Shirt level is: Superb! ]

……

All martial arts in the spiritual realm are divided into five levels: entry level, skilled, proficient, accomplished, and superb.

Zhao Zheng upgraded the "Iron Shirt" to the maximum level in one breath.

A total of 1000 power points were consumed.

Improving the realm of martial arts consumes more spiritual energy points. From tendon training to bright energy, the four realms consume a total of 1500 points.

You can't do this without improving your realm.

This is because, in order to master the "masterful" level of iron vest, the prerequisite is to have the realm of "bright energy".

Every time his realm was elevated, a heat current would surge from Zhao Zheng's Dantian, transforming his body...

When the "Iron Shirt" was upgraded to the maximum level, a new prompt popped up in his left eye.

[Congratulations! Your martial arts "Iron Shirt" has transformed into "Dragon Roar Iron Shirt", greatly increasing your defense! ]

A look of joy finally appeared on Zhao Zheng's face.

Upgrading the previous two items together cost him a lot of energy points, which made him feel very sad...

Subsequently.

Zhao Zheng opened his attribute panel again:
Name: Zhao Shanhe (Zhao Zheng).

Age: 19 years old.

Martial Arts: Dragon Roar Iron Shirt (superb).

Current state: Ming Jin.

Current competition points: 0.
Available power points: 2567.
……

The energy points were directly reduced by 2500.

Most of these are used to improve one's realm.

but.

The results are worth it.

With the transformation of energy points, Zhao Zheng's martial arts realm directly skipped the three early realms of "tendons, bones, and skin" and became "Ming Jin"!
The so-called "tendons, bones, and skin" states are actually the stage of strengthening the body.

Only by strengthening your body into a body of iron and steel can you generate natural strength!
Generally speaking, it takes at least ten years for an ordinary warrior to strengthen his muscles and bones. For those with poor talent, it may not even take twenty years.

Even for those martial arts geniuses, it would take three to five years to complete the training stage!

------------

(PS: By the way, the mission has been modified. It used to be reputation, but now it is martial arts points. The change is not big, and you don’t need to go back and check it out. The main reason for the change is that reputation is too general, and martial arts points are more intuitive.)
